From the article: "Unsurprisingly, this skyrocketed searches for the best VPNs. According to a SlashGear report sent to Mashable, searches for "Texas VPN" jumped by 1,750 percent in the past day. It also spotted a 1,600 percent increase for the phrase "How to access Pornhub.""

Definitely no shady VPNs run by white westerners though. Theyve all got impeccable morals through ans through. Glad you cleared that up.

Reread the comment considering it's taking the view point of a Republican in Texas who voted this law, it will make more sense.

Let me make it clear folks, nobody has better morals than white people, believe me. They're tremendous, the best. They follow the rules, they respect authority, they're just fantastic. I mean, look at me, I'm the best example of great morals, and I'm white, folks. White people, they're winners, they know how to do things right, they're tremendous patriots. So let's make America great again with the incredible morals of white people leading the way.

The outlook on everything on Lemmy is driving me away from the platform. I’m not saying other platforms are any better. I might just stop using it.

The same people who complain about government propaganda are the same people who type “Russia bad! China bad!” like it’s not decades of propaganda to make westerners hate these countries.

So the Ukraine invasion and the Uyghur genocide are both just propaganda?
